2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[FAH1223]

We're in the middle of a Bernie bounce as the old geezer is starting to turn on the jets coming down the home stretch

Delegates gonna be split evenly if this result holds

YouGov/CBS hasn’t been a good poll for Bernie so this is a big deal.

Their plans are different than Biden's, but he does have plans. The logic his campaign is putting forward is that his plans can be passed and therefore will help people in the short term. Debatable.

As for a return to normalcy, that has to happen at some point if we want anything beyond a regressive government. Will it happen under Biden? Doubt it, but I don't knock him for trying. If we're being honest I think all the candidates have given their flavor on a return to normalcy and governing for all Americans.

It seems people have focused on things outside of his proposals(touching, stuttering, his mental state, crime bill from 3 decades ago), but I figure this is a good of time as any to discuss the merits and failures of his plans if this conversation is actually serious.

He released his healthcare plan this summer:

NPR Choice page

And he released his tax plan back in December:

Joe Biden’s plan to raise taxes on corporations and the rich, explained

His tax plan isn't bad at all of we're being honest, but his Healthcare vision leaves a lot do be desired considering the state that the ACA is in.

the majority of candidates have copied his plan as of right now. Warren, Pete, kloubachar, Bloomberg.

His healthcare plan is clearly the leader among democratic candidates. Also it beats Medicare for all in the polls by a wide margin.

73% of people support the public option vs 53% of people who support Medicare for all. Support drops for 'Medicare for All' but increases for public option


I know Bernie supporters think it’s not good enough. But the American public along with the democratic candidates firmly disagree with you.

Your ideas for Medicare for all do not represent what the majority of Americans want.

Biden’s got the support of way more ppl on healthcare than Bernie does. He’s beating y’all handily on healthcare and it’s not even close

Biden coming in at 2nd or 3rd in Iowa is bad news for everyone. Once we hit SC, we run away with the whole thing.

Seeing Warren lose ground is such a blessing on this fine day

Partly why I'm not mad at Liz's approach to M4A

It's becoming clear that this race is between Biden vs Bernie, and Bernie is the clear progressive choice. It's time we fall in line with Bernie if we're gonna elect a progressive president.

Thecoli: why do older black people like Biden?

Biden:

So basically they’re satisfied with him doing photo ops in black churches. So glad my grandparents and their siblings got my parent’s generation (baby boomer) out the south so they could get some critical thinking skills none of them fukk with Biden

but for real, stop acting like all older black people are the same in their thinking, this is a regional divide as well as generational. If the rethugs never overtly welcomed southern racists, black southerners would be standing side by side with irrational white evangelicals in that party
